Let's face it, not all endurance nutrition supplements were created equal, and frankly, a lot of them are comparable to eating pine bark. Jelly Belly Sport Beans give you the endurance nutrition you need, without making you suffer through any bad flavors.

This snack is great when you need a little replenishment, whether you're on a long ride, or just in the middle of a long afternoon

Sport Beans are formulated with carbohydrates, electrolytes, and vitamins C and E and less messy than energy gels

I have used these for about a year. I take an entire pouch before each ride. They give me a little caffeine and some good nutrients. Taste great. I used to use them during the ride every 30-45 minutes. I did, however, recently start using gels during the ride. Only because I have difficulty chewing and swallowing the jelly beans during a mtb race when out of breath (The gels can be really messy though). My wife is a hardcore roadie. So we buy them a couple of cases at a time.

Highly effective at maintaining blood glucose during strenuous workouts, I use with continuous glucose monitor to manage diabetes. Highly durable, I store in my truck through heat and cold in desert southwest. Vitamins and minerals are a plus, with no corn syrup.

Never got the products, web site said they would be ready for shipment in a couple days. When I got my shipping email for the rest of my order it was changed to two months. Cancelled order. Wife asked why I cancelled the order when I went to show her they were now in stock. I had already picked up a few from my LBS. Nothing wrong with the product, just disappointed in Nashbar on this one. Been buying from them for years and will continue.

I use this product to avoid the inevitable afternoon crash in my daily routine.Of course, I also use it on my bike rides. Before, during or after it is all good. I like having something that delivers electrolytes in a chewy, good tasting form. The caffeine boost in some varieties is a nice touch.

I've tried multiple flavors and most of them are good. The orange is my least favorite thus far. It's not a BAD flavor, just gets a little old/tired after a couple pouches. It seems to give a good boost to energy and keeps the chemical balance pretty stable when not using tablets in my water supply. The packaging is easy enough to open and is resealable so you can rip open a few bags and toss them in a pocket or bag and not lose your beans...They do get a little tacky/sticky in the pouch when it's really warm/hot out or you put them in a close fitting pocket and heat them with your body. This makes them almost impossible to get out one or two at a time, plus you usually have to stop your ride to break them free. I'll keep using them!
